Sony Agrees to let Yahoo Video carry their Videos and Music Clips

Posted by onlinemusicblog.com on November 21st, 2007

Yahoo users will soon get the green light to upload videos and music clips containing content belonging to Sony BMG Music Entertainment. In exchange, Sony will receive a portion of advertising revenue generated.

This is the first such deal for Yahoo Video, while Google already has distribution deals with all four major labels, including Sony. Although YouTube (owned by Google) remains the largest video sharing site, Yahoo Video is now second, and looking to make deals to compete with YouTube.

What the competition means for music fans is still up for debate; but so far it looks like it will mean more access to more music while the portals pay the bills.

Van She

Van She - “Cat & The Eye” (You Tube)

WHO SAW THIS COMING?? We’ve been waiting on the edge of our seats for new Van She — and here it is. I’m trying to tame the inner fan boy, but this is near perfect. “Cat & The Eye” is still catchy as “Kelly” but edgier as some of their crazier stuff. And the visuals are fantastic… kinda minimalist-nu-rave, something nobody is doing. Totally refreshing. Directed by Krozm, both song and video are a home run.

j dilla vs. the beach boys

"(Bullion) has transformed the Beach Boys' classic 1966 album into a whole new masterpiece...Dilla would have been up for a bootleg as inspired as this."--Exclaim


pet sounds: in the key of dee

The easiest (laziest) way to describe UK producer Bullion's Pet Sounds: in the Key of Dee would be to call it a more adventurous version of The Grey Album, but with J Dilla and the Beach Boys standing in for Jay-Z and the Beatles. Sounds like a fucking mess that should probably be rejected on principle alone. Instead, Bullion's deft fusion of snippets from Pet Sounds with beats from Dilla's expansive body of work amounts to something that is ultimately more enjoyable and more interesting than Danger Mouse's seminal mash-up album. And if that isn't enough for you, it serves as a reminder (as if you need it) of just how amazing Dilla really was. His beats were/are timeless, as evidenced by how natural they sound here. Here are some links to a couple sample tracks, but you can download the whole thing for free at Bullion's myspace.
